Despite having made use of it for more than a year, the Biden administration will end the policy on May 23. A majority of voters <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/biden-administration\/biden-big-immigration-decision-least-popular-of-presidency\/\">have opposed<\/a> the move, making it the least popular decision of Biden&#8217;s presidency.<\/p>\n<p>Customs and Border Protection apprehended 1.6 million migrants in 2021. Officials\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/biden-administration\/migrant-surge-may-push-dhs-to-drop-security-standards-so-it-can-staff-up\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">expect<\/a> that number this year to hit 2.3 million.<\/p>\n<p>At the Wednesday press conference, Abbott announced more rigorous safety inspections to root out human smuggling operations. Texas will also place boats and barbed wire at the Rio Grande to limit migrant crossings.<\/p>\n<p>The announcement came the same day that Gov. Ron DeSantis (R., Fla.) promised to send illegal immigrants to sanctuary states such as Biden&#8217;s native Delaware.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If Biden is dumping people, which he has dumped people, they fly them in at two in the morning,&#8221; DeSantis said. &#8220;They haven&#8217;t done it lately, but they did it many months ago. We now have money where we can reroute them to sanctuary states like Delaware\u2014and we&#8217;re gonna do that\u2014to make sure we&#8217;re keeping people safe here.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Politics Florida governor announces similar initiative to bus migrants to Biden&#8217;s Delaware  Texas Gov.
